Hanging by a Thread

A start to our story.

"Just call me Titanium for now on!" Skye boasts, running along the river side. "Me too!" Amber includes running after Skye. "Then It would be confusing if we both were called Titanium." Skye says, stopping and looking at her Sister. "Oh right, Okie-Dokie Titanum!" Amber says, smiling at her older sister. 

"Let's go play!" Skye says, walking alongside the River line. 

3 months later. They went back to the river side to have a family picnic.

Amber and Skye were both playing together alongside. Their parents then set up the picnic in a nice area, "Mommy, Daddy. Can we go play in the Forest?" Amber pleaded. Their mother and Father both looked at each other, then looked back at their daughters with a smile. 

"Don't go to far, and be back by Sundown!" Their mother and father kissed their foreheads, "Alight! Let's go Amber!" Skye said running out to the entree of the forest. "Alright Titanium!" 

|The Song shall start now.| 

The two Cockapoos run alongside with each other laughing and playing. 

You shout it out

But I can't hear a word you say

I'm talking loud, not saying much

They start to enter deep, and deeper into the forest. 

I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet

Shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

They both start to play fight with each other. 

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

"I am Titanium!" Skye boasted, 

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

They start to run alongside with each other. "I am Titanium!" Skye boasted again.

BANG!..

They both cover their ears, ringing from the gunshots.

BANG!...

The subsided. "M-Maybe we should head back now, Amber." Skye said, gripping hold of Amber. They both start to rush back, running fast.

Cut me down

But it's you who'll have further to fall Ghost town and haunted love

They start to make their way back to the picnic area. 

Raise your voice

Sticks and stones may break my bones Talking loud, not saying much

They both run up to a bush, and look around but only see two men holding shotguns. 

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Amber and Skye hold in their gasps with their paws, they both start to head back, but before they do they see two Cockapoos, their parents, on the grassy ground...Dead.

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

They could feel their whole life flash before their eyes. They couldn't mover one inch. Tears start to form, and fall down their faces. The two men turn and see them, they try and hurry away but..don't make it. They are dragged and thrown to the ground, next to their dead parents. Skye moves In front of Amber..

"You shoot me down, but I won't fall." Skye whispers under her breath. 

" I am titanium."

"You shoot me down, but I won't fall."

Amber grips Skye's paw, tears rushing down her face, as well as Skye's. The men both start to snicker,

I am titanium

The men both start to aim at Skye, she braces for impact, protecting her younger sister. She could feel her sister's salty tears, falling down onto her paw.

I am titanium

BANG!..

Skye's eyes squeeze close, but she doesn't feel any pain. She slowly opens her eyes, a cold rush rushes thru her.

I am titanium

Her sister dead, she was still gripping hard her paw, her eyes were blurry, she looks up and the men laugh as they walk away, leaving her in a puddle of blood. |Figuratively.| 

Stone-hard, machine gun

Firing at the ones who run Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

She grips her sister's dead body, grieving her family's death.

You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

Skye looks up at the sun, slowly descending down. The light dims, and darkness overtakes the world. 

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium You shoot me down, but I won't fall I am titanium

" I am Titanium." She whispers looking at her sister's and Parent's dead bodies. She lays there, until the next, tears rushing down her cheeks.
